AND ARRANGEMENTS
Led by:
THE TROUBLED EUPHS
The Troubled Euphs are a euphonium trio founded in 2021 by Drew Leslie, Dr. Ian Lester, and Jared Sherman, all students at UMKC at the time of the ensemble’s inception. The trio's objective to commission and perform new music for their instrumentation has resulted in ten new works for the medium, many of which were composed by local Kansas City-area composers. The trio has recently joined a consortium featuring Fernando Deddos as the composer of a new work for low brass trio. The trio has been recognized for their talents, earning high placements at the NABBA Competition and the ITEC Chamber Music Competition. The trio has been excitedly preparing their repertoire for the three regional conferences they’ve been honored to be invited to in the Spring of 2024, those being the South Central Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference, the South East Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference, and the Great Plains Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference.

The Human Element
Join me on an epic musical journey as I tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time – climate change.
I'm thrilled to introduce "The Human Element" – an electrifying album that fuses the power of heavy metal with the brilliance of the tuba!
This project and its digital promotion is supported in part by a grant from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council.
EVENT HORIZON
FOR TROMBONE, CIMBASSO (OR BASS TROMBONE/TUBA), AND FIXED MEDIA (HEAVY METAL BAND)
Event Horizon is a musical imagining of humans crossing the event horizon of a black hole and colonizing an uninhabited world far beyond Earth. This new world becomes the next frontier for humankind: the settlement of a new dimension of the universe. Equal parts mysterious, crushingly heavy, strangely groovy, and highly virtuosic, Event Horizon is sure to spark the imaginations of audiences everywhere.
This work was commissioned by the Loud and Louder duo: Jarrod Williams and Stephen Ivany.
